​The Automotive Technology program is
a cooperative agreement between Rowan College, the Gloucester County
Institute of Technology and the Ford Motor Company. The associate in
applied science (A.A.S.) degree is a full-time, two-year program
composed of five 20-week semesters. Alternating 10-week sessions of
classroom/laboratory instruction and internship at a local Ford or
Lincoln/Mercury dealership provide theory and practice, in addition to
hands-on experience, that qualify graduates for gainful employment as
service technicians.
